Can your DNA actually change? 🧬

For the most part, the DNA sequence you’re born with stays the same.

But here’s where it gets interesting: how some of your genes are expressed can change.

This is where epigenetics comes in. Think of your DNA as the instructions, while epigenetic processes help influence which instructions are more or less active.

Things like nutrition, sleep, stress, physical activity, ageing and environmental exposures can all interact with these processes.

So when we talk about supporting your health based on your genetics, the goal isn’t to “change your DNA.”

It’s to better understand the genetic variations you already have and use that information alongside your lifestyle, health history and other relevant data to make more personalised decisions.

Your genes can provide useful clues.
But they’re one piece of a much bigger health picture.

That’s one of the reasons I use functional genomics in my work: not to predict your future, but to add another layer of context when looking at your health and wellness.

Your supplement cabinet keeps growing… but is your routine actually getting more personal? 👀

It’s easy to collect supplements based on what’s trending, what worked for a friend, what someone recommended, or what you’ve heard is “good for you.”

But adding more isn’t necessarily the same as understanding what belongs in your routine.

Nutrition and wellness considerations can vary from person to person. Your diet, medications, health history, lifestyle, lab findings and even genetics can all add important context.

And this is one reason I don’t like looking at a supplement in isolation.

I want to understand the bigger picture first. What are you already getting from food? What else are you taking? What information do we actually have about your health? Are there relevant lab results? And where appropriate, could your genetics provide another piece of useful information?

Because personalized wellness isn’t about building the biggest supplement cabinet.

It’s about making more informed choices with the information you actually have. 🧬

You’ve tried the supplements. Changed your diet. Followed the wellness advice.

But are you still wondering what might be relevant to YOU?

That’s where a more personalised approach comes in. 🧬

As a Certified Naturopath and Functional Genomic Practitioner, I take a broader look at your wellness picture, including your lifestyle, nutrition, health history and genetic insights when appropriate.

Your DNA can provide another piece of information to consider, but it’s not the whole story. That’s why I look at these insights alongside the other factors that make you, YOU.

4 THINGS MY DNA HAS TAUGHT ME ABOUT HOW I EAT 🧬

The truth is, your DNA isn’t going to tell you to eat broccoli instead of cauliflower. It can tell you how your body tends to respond to different nutrients and different ways of eating, and how YOUR body may thrive.

Here’s what mine has taught me:

1. Keto is NOT for me.
My body thrives on a lower fat diet. Not no fat, because we absolutely need healthy fats, but my genetics show that my body tends to do better with less fat overall.

So while keto might work great for someone else, it’s not how MY body thrives.

2. I don’t eat fruit alone.
I have a higher genetic predisposition toward glucose dysregulation and insulin resistance.

That doesn’t mean I have insulin resistance. DNA isn’t a diagnosis. It means it’s something my body may be more prone to, so I eat accordingly.

If I’m having fruit or something higher in sugar, I’ll usually pair it with protein, fibre or a little healthy fat.

3. Carbs aren’t my enemy.
My body actually does well with some carbohydrates. I include healthy carbs throughout my day, while still keeping my glucose tendencies in mind.

I don’t need to eliminate carbs. I need to eat them in a way that works for MY body.

4. Carrots aren’t enough for my vitamin A. 🥕
My body has a lower ability to convert the vitamin A precursors found in plant foods into usable vitamin A, retinol.

So yes, I eat carrots, sweet potatoes and lots of plant foods, but I also make sure I’m getting appropriate animal sources of preformed vitamin A.

And THIS is why I love nutrigenomics.

DNA doesn’t give me a grocery list. It helps me understand how to build MY plate. 🧬🍽️

And remember, this is MY DNA, not yours.

Your results could tell a completely different story.

Hi guys!! How’s your weekend going? 🤍

Today I want to talk about health trends and why something that works great for your friend might not work the same way for you.

Take fasting, keto, cold plunges or even supplements. You’ll hear someone say something completely changed how they feel, while another person tries the exact same thing and doesn’t have the same experience.

There are a lot of reasons for that.

We all have differences in how our bodies process nutrients, metabolize fats and carbohydrates, regulate blood sugar, respond to stress and recover from exercise. Genetics can influence some of these differences, but it’s only one piece of the picture. Your lifestyle, environment, sleep and other individual factors matter too.

That’s why there really isn’t one health routine that works perfectly for everyone.

It’s not about saying a certain trend is good or bad. It’s about understanding your own body and making informed choices instead of assuming that what works for someone else will automatically work for you.

I’m curious, What’s a health trend you actually swear by?🤔

08/05/2026

Health trends come and go.

One week it’s a new supplement.
The next it’s a “miracle” diet, detox, or morning routine.

The problem isn’t that these approaches never work.

It’s that they weren’t designed specifically for you.

Two people can have the same symptom - fatigue, bloating, brain fog, stubborn weight, or poor sleep, and have completely different root causes.

That’s why copying someone else’s wellness routine often leads to frustration.

In my practice, we take a personalized approach to health. Through a functional lense, nutritional guidance, and DNA insights, we work to understand why your symptoms are happening so your plan is built around your body, not the latest trend.

✨ Personalized support may include:
• Functional health assessments
• DNA-based wellness insights
• Nutrition and lifestyle recommendations
• Root-cause focused guidance

If you’re tired of guessing and ready to understand what’s really going on, we’d love to help.

HAPPY NURSE'S DAY

There’s a misconception that different areas of healthcare don’t work together.

That couldn’t be further from the truth.

Nurses, doctors, and natural health practitioners all bring something valuable to the table.

Different perspectives.
Different tools.
Same goal.

I have so much respect for the work nurses do every single day.

What I do complements that by focusing on patterns:
Nutrition
Lifestyle
Metabolism
Genetics

It’s not about choosing one approach.

It’s about building a support system that actually works for you.

To all the nurses out there, thank you.

Digestive Health Month!!

If your digestion feels off, your blood sugar often is too.

Bloating.
Constipation.
Loose stools.
Feeling heavy after meals.

These aren’t just digestive symptoms.

They affect:
How you absorb nutrients
How your blood sugar responds
Your inflammation levels
Your energy

When the gut is irritated or imbalanced, the rest of the body feels it.

This is why removing foods randomly doesn’t always fix the issue.

You need to understand the pattern behind it.

When digestion improves, everything else becomes easier.

If you’ve been dealing with gut issues that don’t seem to resolve, message me or visit www.somaholistic.ca

MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH DAY

We don’t talk enough about how hard the postpartum phase can be.

Not just emotionally.

Physically and metabolically.

After pregnancy, many women experience:
Blood sugar swings
Sleep disruption
Hormone shifts
Increased stress sensitivity

And yet, they’re expected to “bounce back.”

If you feel off, overwhelmed, or not like yourself…

It’s not in your head.

Your body is going through real biochemical changes.

Supporting blood sugar, nervous system balance, and nutrient levels can make a meaningful difference in how you feel day to day.

You are not meant to push through it alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling during this phase and wants a more personalized approach, message me or visit www.somaholistic.ca

You don’t need to “be perfect” to support your blood sugar.

Even on days like Cinco de Mayo.

Most people think it’s the tacos, the carbs, or the meal itself that throws them off.

It’s not.

It’s how the meal is built.

When you eat:
Carbs on their own → blood sugar spikes
Carbs + protein + fat + fiber → blood sugar stays more stable

That means you can absolutely enjoy a meal like tacos or a bowl…

Just build it intentionally:
Add protein first
Load up on veggies
Keep sauces and extras balanced
Eat slowly

The goal is not restriction.

It’s awareness.

Enjoy the meal.
Just don’t turn one into six.

When you slow down, build your plate properly, and actually pay attention to how you feel, your body will tell you when it’s had enough.
